And for those who haven't read S.B. 855, take a moment, because, as the Associated Press reminds, "all the money-raising proposals and the transportation projects would have to be approved by local voters." And Carona does have plenty of proposals for funding "passenger rail, transit, roadway, and freight rail projects," including:

(1) a county tax on the sale of motor vehicle fuel, at
a rate not to exceed 10 cents per gallon and as annually adjusted
under Section 446.013;

(2) a local option mobility improvement fee, in an
amount not to exceed $60;

(3) a parking regulation and management fee in the
amount of $1 per hour per vehicle use of a parking space;

(4) an annual motor vehicle emissions fee based on the
amount of pollutants released by a vehicle, not to exceed $15;

(5) a fee for the renewal of a driver's license issued
to a county resident equal to the amount of the renewal fee of the
license under Section 521.421, Transportation Code; and

(6) a new resident roadway impact fee, in an amount not
to exceed $250.
